Ti Rotor Bolts
Just fitting rotors to my new BST's
Any suggestions for torque for Ti rotor bolts?
I guess stock torque but I don't know what that is!

One thing to consider:
As far I know, you don't use loctite on the Ti bolts. You need to use a Ti-Prep compound which keeps the Ti from galling the Aluminum.
I never went with the Ti rotor bolts for that reason. Did you find a solution? Otherwise I would be checking the rotor bolts often.

The bolts I bought have a coated finish using "Electrophoretic Technology" !
Yeh I know. I'd never heard of it either!
Basicaly similar to anodizing, it's meant to prevent galling.(and allow coloured finishes for
cosmetic purposes.
I emailed the guy who does the coatings and he recomended medium loctite.

The link below takes you to their main site which contains links to the Ti bolts they sell.
http://www.electrotechuk.co.uk/index.html
The quality and finish appear excellent and great value, although the gold bolts I bought are
not as opaque as anodized bolts.
Simon is a bit difficult to contact by phone but answers emails promptly.
Probably better for you anyway as they are UK based.
Any ideas on torque values?

Did you try the link at the top of the page, for a .pdf manual? I can't access my manual from work...
